In first corn-eating contest picture, the second boy, in dark shirt is Robbie Schreiber and the girl is Cindy Harden. Notice the "H" on her blouse? "Initial blouses" were all the rage then!

In the second picture, notice off to the left, a smiling Dan Williams ( I love that picture, it is the Dan we all remember! I can just hear his laugh!) and to his right, in dark blouse, is Nancy Spratt.

There is a boy way in the back, right, with a white hat and t-shirt on. I think that is Lew Williams.

And there is a darkhaired woman leaning out, looking down the table. I think that is Betty Schreiber, Robbie's mom.

1964 -- Measuring shorts

Some of us remember school dress codes. And yes, at camp, too. Barb Haley is checking but I'm not sure hers would pass. Frank Bush recalls, "The directors received a lot of criticism about girls' shorts, so they made a rule of not shorter than 3 inches above the top of the knee. I remember this week was hard on the Dean of Girls."

Sandi Heston Rinderer says, "The three girls are all from Greenville. L to R they are:Rose Motzer, Barb Haley and Pam Thompson.

"Kay Wiseman and I were from the era prior to this picture, that had loosened up a little bit and first allowed "shorts" rather than just pedal pushers or long pants. But the only shorts we were allowed had to come down to the knees. Kay and I solved the problem of length with some of our shorts that didn't quite come to the knee, by having her Grandmother sew a couple rows of color coordinated ruffles to our shorts to bring them in line with the knee-length dress code! I wonder if any pictures of those things exist?And, I also remember, that the first thing we did when we got home from camp was rip the ruffles off! We weren't about to be seen wearing those ruffled shorts around Greenville!"

1964 Junior girls? Probably a little earlier...

Cheryl Lamb is dark-haired girl on far side of first table that is in process of eating and the cute kid to her right (photo left) is Lynne Gurley ... who knew her hair was ever that short! 4th person down from Cheryl is Dolly Black, faculty/helper that week. Diagonal from Cheryl, on opposite side of table, girl with white head band and dress is Mary Motzer. At second table Ruth Schrumpf is seen sitting with kids. Cheryl would have been a Junior in maybe 1959 through 1961, so this is a little earlier than we thought.
